the limitations of studying Christian Science from a purely literary or classical standpoint

  	    Apart from the usual opposition to everything new,
1	the one great obstacle to the reception of that spiritual-
  	ity, through which the understanding of Mind-science
 3	comes, is the inadequacy of material terms for	Philological
  	metaphysical statements, and the consequent	inadequacy 
  	difficulty of so expressing metaphysical ideas as to make
 6	them comprehensible to any reader, who has not person-
  	ally demonstrated Christian Science as brought forth in
  	my discovery. Job says: "The ear trieth words, as the
 9	mouth tasteth meat." The great difficulty is to give the
  	right impression, when translating material terms back
  	into the original spiritual tongue.
